Jack Show, of Samokin. is one of the
foolish creatures who makes vows on
the results of elections. Before the last
presidential election he swore that he
would never wear coat while Demo
crat occupied the White House and he
has kept his oath. For over two years
he has been coatless, in winter wearing
several suits of underclothing. He
made trip to Scotland going and COM
ing in his shirt sleeves. Having got
used to it, he is not particularly dis
couraged by the prospect of not having
to buy coats for good many years to
come.

A correspondent says: 'sThe proper
time to cut timothy and clover hay is
when the blossom of the timothy is be-
ginning to fall freely. Never cut while
dew is on the plant, and never leave
the hay in the swath over night for
the next mornings dew to wet and
bleach it. Do not cure in the swath or
windrow too much; leave some Jf the
curing for the field lunches and the
stack or NOW. If you have no barns in
which to store hay and are compelled
to stack, it will pay to buy boards for
roofing and timber for flooring to allow
air circulation under the stack. You
will save their cost on the first hund-
red tons Of hay you thus protect. And
still farther, never cut and feed from
day to day from stacks; but cut down
and clean up q section at q time, haul
ing into stable or protected feeding
place. / speak from experience i
paid for not observing the above"

An old German farmer from Osgood,
Ohio, came to see son-in-law, who
was working in the cattle pens at
Sedamsville. When he got ready to
return he went to Newt, nthe operator
at Fleishmann's distillers station, and
said: "Does this train stop at Os-
good?" "Yes," replied the operator,
"the train is due in five minutes"
When the train came along, the old
German went to the conductor and
asked him "If that train went to Os-
good?n The conductor answered: "Get
aboard" The German walked off and
the train went on. He then went up
to the operator and said: "Vat for dot

A twenty-three foot vein of what
promises to be valuable kind of fuel
has been discovered at Elsinore, CAL,
and it is thought that the whole valley
it underlaid with it. 1t is described by

easily worked when in the mine, but it
gets hard when exposed to the air. 1t

A German paper makes the astound-
ing statement that more than two mil
lion glass eyes are made every year in
Germany and Switzerland, while one
FrenclAhouse manufactures 100000 of
them annually. The pupil is made OF
colored glass, and sometimes red lines
are painted on the inner surface to SIM
ulate the veins. The largest number
of these eyes are bought by laborers
who are exposed to fire and are con-
sequently liable to lose an eye. An
artificial eye rarely lasts more than five
years, as the secretions of the lachry-
NAL glands cloud the surface of the
glass. DR.. Magnus has pointed out
that the expression Of the eyes is almost
solely due to the movements Of the up
per eyelids; and this is the reason that
we may see man with a glass eye a
hundred times before we discover his
infirmity.-Epoch.

Mormons Want a State Government.

SALT LAKE, Utah, June 26.-Yester-
day the Mormons held a mass county
convention in the theater and elect
ed sixteen delegates to the constitution
al convention. An invitation had been
addressed by the chairman Of their ter
ritoriafcommittee to the, chairman of
the Democratic and Republican terri
torial committees, to meet with them
and send delegates also. Judge Ros-
borO, chairman of the Democratic ter
ritorial committee, has sent a reply de-
clining to act with the Mormons in this
scheme, reciting the disloyal attitude
of the Mormon government to that of
the United States and its many acts in
opposition of the National authority
and statutes, and declaring that nom
Mormons would not be safe in person
and property with the statehood under
present circumstances. The Republi-
can committee in reply declines for
substantially the same reason.

Dedicated TO the Parents of Little

Over the river they beckon to US
Loved ones who've passed to the further eide:
The CLEAN Of their snowy robes we sec,
But their voices are lost in the dashing tide.
There's one with ringlets Of sunny gold
And eyes the reflection Of heavens own blue,
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view;
We saw not the angels who met him there
The gates Of the City we could not see,
Over the river. over the river,
Our boy stands waiting to welcome we.
over the river, the boaimRn pale
Carried another, the householdpet;
His brown curls waived in the gentle gale
Darling Freddie, see him yet.
He crossed on his bosom his folded hands
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark,
We felt II glide from the silver sands .
And oil our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know he is safe on the further side
Where all the ransoped and angels be,
Over the river, the nd ystic river
Our childhood's idol is waiting for we.
And we sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill aud shore,
We shall one day stand by the waters cold
And list for the sound OF the boatman's oar;
We shall watch for gleam of the tapping SAIL
We shall hear the boat as it gains the strand,
We shall pass from sight with the boatman pale
To the better shore of the spirit land.
We shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be
When over the river, the peaceful river.

Business Booming.

sist in saying it is a dull season,
it's patent to all that we are do
ing a rushing business. 1t is
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying of the ''Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all.
It has always been the aim
of J. c., Saur to save money for
his customers, This you should
not forget, and also remember
that when he does you up pre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surely follow by getting your
medicines of the '.Little Dutch
man." at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking of repapering and re-
painting your house, we ask
-yeur careful attention to Saur's
stock of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the 'Wall Paper King"
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
styles and patterns that will
please all. Prices on these
goods are so low that the poor
est man of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth
ing that adds more to a home
than a neat pattern of paper on
the walls.
Bear in mind that Saur car
ries the largest stock Of Wall
Paper in this section Of country.
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities,
and always gives his customers
the benefit of this, as it enables
him to sell at cheaper prices
than smaller dealers can sell at.
Tt is indeed astonishing that
such small outlay will buy
such beautiful paper and add
so much to your homes. But
come in and try it.
Also, Saur's is headquarters
for Paints and Oils. His Dia-
mond White Lead is known the
world over to be the best, and
his stock consists of all varieties
and colors, ready mixed or not,
Just to suit yourselves. This is
the time of the year to do paint
ing and those contemplating
fixing up little this spring
should come in and see Saur
and his immense stock Of Paints
and Oils. He has also a full
stock of Brushes, Of all sizes and
for all uses.
The aLittle Dutchman's' -
Book department is 4 marvel,
and needs only to be examined
to stamp wonderupon the coun-
tenances Of all-for he sells
them 50 cheap, almost giving
away some Of them. VI
